Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2 subpartition support.
=======================================
Minix subpartition support is provided in `linux/drivers/block/genhd.c'.
Minix partitions are shown with the device name suffixed with an `@'
followed by any detected subpartitions inside angle brackets, like this:
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2@ < hda5 hda6 > hda3 hda4
Usage
=====
Add entries to /etc/fstab, change for your setup:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/minix minix rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/minix/usr minix rw,noauto 0 0
To mount your Minix filesystems:
mount /mnt/minix # mount /
mount /mnt/minix/usr # mount /usr
Note
====
The first sector of a Minix 2.0.0/2.0.2 partition containing
subpartitions looks like the master boot record (MBR) on the first
sector of the hard disk.
It has
1) a small loader program which loads the boot sector from
the Minix root partition (usually hd?a).
2) a small partition table which gives the starting
C/H/S values and sizes for the 4 Minix subpartitions.
If there are no subpartitions then the first sector of the Minix
partition contains the usual boot sector.
